Building a PC

[JulianX]

Ok i am thinking of building a computer but i can only spend $1000! I am hoping to build a Intel based PC but i could use some help in buying the parts.

[Illiard24]

Just the PC, or is mouse monitor keyboard included in that $1000?

[JulianX]

The PC, and mouse and keyboard no monitor needed i have a T.V that I'll hook up to it with a DVI HDMI converter.

A few things can be knocked down and changed for a lower price and more to fit your needs. I just picked a random case but it can be changed if you want. Motherboard and ram could be knocked down. Since you said your going to be using it on your tv you might want to keep that GPU, but i don't know how big your TV is and what types of games or programs you will be running. Ram can also be changed to be cheaper.

Also if you want to overclock you can do it on a stock cooler but can change to an aftermarket cooler

ok i my t.v. is 47 inches.

[Illiard24]

Yea to be pushing an image on a screen that big at a nice rez you'll need atleast that GPU

[Illiard24]

Direct Canada is fine, im Canadian and buy all my stuff from there, they have free shipping on large orders and it comes pretty quick by ground. 4 days for from from BC to Ontario. Plus if your not a BC resident you don't pay the PST

[Illiard24]

650I is such an old chipset and a slow FSB

eBay is like my best friend for stuff like that :P
Just buy it from an eBay shop.
Google and Amazon are pretty good though

My PC i got now,

Intel Dual core 2ghz, 2gig ddr2 ram, 160gig hdd, 8400GS, and what-ever else it has only costed me like $600..

So you should definitely be able to get better then that with $1000.
